Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate an exceptional student athlete from my congressional district. Darren Cammauf, a recent graduate of Manheim Township School District, distinguished himself in track and field this past season, ultimately winning the 400-meter dash held at the Pennsylvania Track and Field Coaches Association Indoor State Championship earlier this year. A leading member of the Blue Streak Track and Field team, Cammauf had a successful senior season as well. He set a new school record for the best time in the 400-meter race. At the Lancaster-Lebanon League Championships, Darren won the 400- and 200-meter dashes as well as led the 1,600-meter relay team to victory. He capped his senior season off with a third-place victory in the 400- meter dash at the PIAA Class 3A competition. Darren will be attending St. Joseph's University in Philadelphia to continue his competition in track and field and to pursue a degree in business. Mr. Speaker, I would also be remiss if I did not recognize Darren's two biggest cheerleaders: his mother, Erica, and his father, Nicholas, who serves as a senior constituent advocate assisting residents of Pennsylvania's 11th Congressional District. I congratulate Darren on his success this year. We are all very proud of his accomplishments and look forward to seeing what he accomplishes next. ____________________
